NAME

       BSON::Time - BSON type wrapper for date and time

VERSION

       version v1.4.0

SYNOPSIS

           use BSON::Types ':all';

           bson_time( $number );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a 64-bit date-time value in the form of
       milliseconds since the Unix epoch (UTC only).

       On a Perl without 64-bit integer support, the value must be a Math::BigInt object.

ATTRIBUTES

   value
       A integer representing milliseconds since the Unix epoch.  The default is 0.

METHODS

   epoch
       Returns the number of seconds since the epoch (i.e. a floating-point value).

   as_iso8601
       Returns the "value" as an ISO-8601 formatted string of the form
       "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ".  The fractional seconds will be omitted if they are zero.

   as_datetime
       Loads DateTime and returns the "value" as a DateTime object.

   as_datetime_tiny
       Loads DateTime::Tiny and returns the "value" as a DateTime::Tiny object.

   as_mango_time
       Loads Mango::BSON::Time and returns the "value" as a Mango::BSON::Time object.

   as_time_moment
       Loads Time::Moment and returns the "value" as a Time::Moment object.

   TO_JSON
       Returns a string formatted by "as_iso8601".

       If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is true, it will instead be compatible with MongoDB's
       extended JSON <https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongodb-extended-json/> format,
       which represents it as a document as follows:

           {"$date" : { "$numberLong": "22337203685477580" } }

OVERLOADING

       Both numification ("0+") and stringification ("") are overloaded to return the result of
       "epoch".  Numeric comparison and string comparison are overloaded based on those and
       fallback overloading is enabled.
